THE FARAWAY STAR: POEM BY MARY VARGHESE

[THE FARAWAY STAR by Mary Varghese Rains falling in torrents,lashing against the panes winds unpredictable blowing violently........ An angel of death stalks the nook and corner not a living soul does the street lamp lit up. It's a lonely night,dark and desolate wet and violent, dreary and draggingOut on such a night............Shivers of fear and doubts chill my bones Out on the desolate night, in search of dreams Unsearchable,Unreachable, Unsurmountableshrugs the worldly scribes,near and dear ones shun me from chasing the faraway star, shining so clear Distance makes it unreal,But i know otherwise.......... The flickering lamp of love ,in the engulfing darkness spreads the light of hope and love......... In a despairing attempt, Hope dies........to rise again unveiling a brighter morn, rising from the ashes hope that kindles in me, a sure.....eternal essence a fire of everlasting bliss.
